gulp-nunjucks-render include paths

Question

I have a project set up like this:

and I'm using gulp-nunjucks-render for templating. My gulpfile.js looks like this:

gulp.task('nunjucks', function() {
  // Gets .html and .nunjucks files in pages folder
  return gulp.src('pages/**/*.+(html|nunjucks)')
  // Renders template with nunjucks
  .pipe(nunjucksRender({
      path: ['templates']
    }))
  // output file to main folder
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
});

It works well, and creates an index.html in my root folder. However, whenever i want to include a partial from templates/partials/bottomnav.nunjucks, nothing happens. The index file is created, but the bottomnav html is not included.

I have been following this guide and so my index.nunjucks looks like this:

<!-- index.nunjucks -->
{% extends "layout.nunjucks" %}

{% block content %}

<h1>This is the index page</h1>
{% include "partials/bottomnav.nunjucks" %}

{% endblock %}

-- but why is the partial not included? Is the path wrong?

Well, it turns out the setup above actually works.
